We are also organizing a workshop on the same day on "Making Marketing Work". It will be conducted by Srujan team.

Most of the startups wrestle with competition, budgetary constraints, lack of dedicated resources, and above all lack of workable marketing plan. This workshop aims to tackle these issues.

Workshop content will be around the following things:

1) Marketing plan preparation 2) Digital Marketing - Tools, Techniques, Tricks 3) Lead Generation from digital 4) Inexpensive marketing 5) Grow your marketing efforts

We are hoping that through this workshop we help startup founders to get maximum out of their marketing efforts.
